Is there a way to delete/remake a Game Center account?

Hi, probably a decade ago my idiot ex husband started using my iPad (linked with my iCloud account) and named my Game Center account something really stupid and offensive. I just found it again trying to update some apps - can I get rid of that? I don’t even play games, I just don’t want the reminder.
